Josh Falkingham

Josh Falkingham started his footballing career with Leeds United at the age of eight before joining Scottish Premier League side St Johnstone after 11 years at his hometown club.

The central midfielder with an eye for a pass then spent time north of the border at The Saints, Arbroath and Dunfermline Athletic, whom he captained and helped gain promotion to the Scottish Championship.

A return to England in 2016 saw Falkingham sign for National League North side Darlington before a move to Town proved too tempting to turn down.

The prospect of returning to full time football as well as the opportunity for the UEFA ‘B’ Licence holder to take charge of the U21 side ensured Falkingham would be plying his trade at The CNG Stadium.
